Objective
My primary focus is centered on video, film and audio production. As a
matter of fact, for over two decades, I have had a tradition of identifying
business and community institutions in need of developing and producing
videos that address their particular needs. Today, the focus continues to
evolve and revolve around the production of television commercials,
infomercials, travel videos and documentaries.
